Another Terminal Emulation Program

When using another terminal emulation program, confirm the use of xmodem
protocol at 9600 baud, provide filename (and path) and initiate the download.

transfer will take approximately 20 minutes.

4. After download, the program will be loaded from RAM into the flash memory

and the system will automatically restart. Wait until the boot menu prompt is
displayed before powering down the unit. If the download fails and no prompt
is seen after a full minute, cycle power and repeat the process.

5. Re-establish communication with the CLI using a terminal emulation program.

Check all configurations and system operation.
